Elisabeth "Sissi" Delmas
"I'm the star, the diva of the school!"
Voiced by: Carole Baillien (French), Jodi Forrest (English), Christine Flowers (English, four episodes in Season 1), Gaby Ugarte (Latin American Spanish, Seasons 1-2), Adriana Núñez (Latin American Spanish, Seasons 3-4), Cristina Yuste (European Spanish), Koharu Takeda (Japanese, Seasons 1-2), Mihoko Hijiri (Japanese, Seasons 3-4)
Daughter of Kadic Academy principal Jean-Pierre Delmas. She can have practically any boy at school — but she wants Ulrich, who'd rather have nothing to do with her despite (or maybe because) they'd known each other since childhood. To separate Ulrich from Yumi (not that they're actually together, honest), Sissi makes a variety of attempts to undermine the bonds of friendship between the Lyoko Warriors. These often manifest as attempts to administratively separate them through her power as a one-girl Absurdly Powerful Student Council or the use of blackmail material to buy her way into the group. Either way, she has the potential to sow a greater division than XANA himself. The prequel two-parter "XANA Awakens" reveals that she had initially been in on the Lyoko Warriors' secret, but her memories of the Supercomputer's activation were wiped with a RTTP because she notified her father due to thinking her friends were in danger and a misunderstanding of betrayal occurred. Hints dropped from late Season 2 and through Season 4 seem to reinforce Fanon that Sissi could be perfectly content with Odd — so long as she doesn't realize it's a Bohemian like him that she connects with.
- Abhorrent Admirer: A toned-down example toward Ulrich; unlike the usual, he doesn't reject her because she is ugly (she is actually quite attractive), but because he feels she is a Brainless Beauty and an extremely annoying Stalker with a Crush.
- Absurdly Powerful Student Council: A one-person version, solely by virtue of being the principal's daughter.
- Action Survivor: Just try to count the numerous XANA attacks she was directly involved in that she survived.
- Alpha Bitch: Though becomes a Lovable Alpha Bitch through Character Development.
- Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: She wears a belly-shirt everywhere.
- Bathing Beauty: She is said to take up to three showers a day, and she spends lots of time in them.
- Berserk Button: Sissi, much like Yumi has three buttons that can set her off:
- Calling her by her first name Elizabeth instead of Sissi will immediately anger her to the point of getting you on her hit list.
- Calling Sissi fat is also enough to anger her, which causes her quite a lot of grief.
- Being outdone as the Ms. Fanservice of the school, which will also incite jealousy in Sissi, which is what happens with Yumi starting a rivarly with her, and again later on when her buxom Icelandic pen pal Brynja arrives at Kadic and hogs all the attention with the boys thanks to her big breasts and good looks, forcing Sissi into an Enemy Mine with Yumi and Aelita to get rid of her, with Sissi asking Brynja to stay at her friend's place across the countryside.
- Big Sister Instinct: As often as she picks on them, Sissi is actually very protective of Milly and Tamiya during XANA's attacks. "Attack of the Zombies" makes a point of this.
- Brainless Beauty: Or so she comes across; she's actually smarter than she seems.
- Bratty Teenage Daughter: To Principal Delmas. The poor man is just a little too good-natured to really do anything about it.
- Butt-Monkey: She has awful luck, and everyone seems to dislike her to some extent. But she mostly brings it on herself.
- Catchphrase: "Cretin(s)!"
- Character Development: Becomes a progressively better person throughout seasons 1, 2, and 4 (not so much season 3.)
- Characterization Marches On: In many of the earlier Season 1 episodes scripted (though aired out of order), she was very malicious and more effective in her manipulation and antagonism. But then the writers decided to soften her, and she became the bumbling comedic ditz that we're all familiar with.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Where Ulrich is concerned. It annoys the hell out of him, since they're not together and it gives people the wrong idea.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: She's way more openly antagonistic to the main group in Season 1. Come Season 2, she's warmed up to them quite a bit.
- Demoted to Extra: In Season 3 and 4, especially 3 (she becomes relevant again late into Season 4). She's even less present in the live action sequel, although it could be considered lucky she made it into the show at all.
- Depending on the Writer: The level of sympathy her character is treated with changes from episode to episode; shown moreso in Seasons 2 and 4 (where she was sympathetic in the majority of her appearances, though still had antagonistic moments) than 1 and 3 (where she... wasn't, though she did have moments in 1 and Season 3 saw her Demoted to Extra). Her level of intelligence also varies. While in Seasons 1 and 4 she can be very smart, she's mostly shown as stupid in the prequel and seasons 2 and 3.
- Determinator: In regards to finding out what the Lyoko gang is up to. Her level of commitment is either admirable or frightening.
- Do Not Call Me "Paul": "It's Sissi! Not Elisabeth!" Counts as a literal Berserk Button as it's one way to end up on Sissi's hit list.
- Dungeonmaster's Girlfriend: She ends up playing this role whenever she joins the party, even though she's not romantically involved with any of them (no matter how much she says she is with Ulrich).
- Earn Your Happy Ending: After 3 seasons of snooping around and indirectly helping out the gang during XANA attacks, Sissi finally gets to befriend the Lyoko Warriors and is included in their group of friends, though she's not a full-fledged member. Ironically enough it's Ulrich, the boy she has a hard crush on (and the one who initially banned her from being a full-fledged Lyoko Warrior) was the one to set things right.
- Friendly Enemies: She and the gang are mostly very civil and casual with each other throughout Season 4. It only stops (temporarily) toward the end when her old suspicions consume her again, Played Straight by the sequel series where she's a genuine friend to the gang despite not being a full-fledged member.
- Green-Eyed Monster: She's insanely jealous of Yumi due to Ulrich's crush on her and her general status as The Ace.
- Heel–Face Revolving Door: Owing to Depending on the Writer, but there are episodes where she can either be a selfless and very useful ally, and ones where she's either a nuisance, or a legitimately manipulative threat to the Lyoko Warriors. She fully settled on the face side of things by the end of the original series and continues into Evolution, now a full on friend to the Lyoko Warriors despite not being a full on member of the group.
- Hidden Depths: More and more episodes show this as the show goes on, particularly how surprisingly selfless she can be during XANA attacks, very often helping other people even at risk to herself. Even the misunderstanding that got her kicked out of the Lyoko gang was based upon frantic concern for their well-being.
- Hopeless Suitor: Even before Yumi entered the scene, it was clear Ulrich had no interest in dating her.
- Hormone-Addled Teenager: She's a little too amorous for her age, even. Though seeing as the series is set in France, it's justified.
- I Just Want to Have Friends: As early as Season 1, she admits that her primary reason for fixating so much on the main characters is that she wants to be included in their group of friends. Sissi finally gets her wish by the end of the series and is included in the Lyoko Warriors friend group.
- Informed Attribute: Stated by Ulrich to be a Dude Magnet in the prequel; however, the number of boys seen actually hitting on her onscreen doesn't exceed three (two of them being Odd and Herb, and the third being a one-shot character who forgot about her as soon as he saw Yumi), and minor characters have been shown to be pretty aware of her being a Brainless Beauty. In fact, Yumi technically gets more attention from boys than she does. Both girls eventually get outdone by Sissi's Icelandic pen pal Brynja who gets the attention of every boy in the school, forcing them into an Enemy Mine.
- It's All About Me: Her usual attitude, though see Hidden Depths above.
- Jerkass: At her worst, she's very mean, smug, and condescending to others, especially Milly and Tamiya (Whom she likes to belittle and humiliate, often unprovoked), and Herb and Nicholas (whom she treats less like friends and more like servants). She was mostly this in season 1 and Took a Level in Kindness later, becoming more of a...
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's a bratty, self-absorbed snob, but she's a decent person deep down who can be incredibly brave and selfless when push comes to shove in a XANA attack (if he hasn't possessed her, of course). And she does genuinely care for Ulrich, even if she has a funny way of showing it. Sissi's fully settled on the heart of gold side as of Evolution as she's now a legitimate friend and ally to the group and fully drops the jerk part.
- Little Miss Snarker: She can't say two sentences without something snarky coming out.
- Lingerie Scene: She's in her underwear about as often as Yumi is in the bathtub.
- Locked Out of the Loop: In the prequel two-parter episode where she is informed about Lyoko, she almost immediately tells the school staff about it and the Supercomputer's location, risking having them shut down (though she did only reveal it out of fear for their safety). After her memories of it are erased by Return to the Past, the group decides that she's too much of a blabbermouth to be trusted with knowledge of it. Sissi after being included into the Lyoko Warriors by the final episode is able to find out Jeremie actually kept track of all the times she's actually helped them out during XANA attacks in the Supercomputer's file logs allowing her to regain some sense of knowledge of the Lyoko Warriors during those times of crisis and is present when the Supercomputer's shut down.
- Love Dodecahedron: She is in love with Ulrich, who has feelings for Yumi, who is also the main love interest of William.
- Missing Mom:
Word of God states that Sissi's mother is alive, but lives away from Sissi and her father. She is never seen or mentioned in the show. - Ms. Fanservice: When she's not in a Lingerie Scene, she's dressed to play this to the hilt, a lot more compared to Yumi.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Only adults ever call her "Elisabeth", and she hates that. Everybody else calls her "Sissi".
- Out of Focus: From Season 3 up until near the end of Season 4 (when the gang's suspicious activities increases to such a level that she can't ignore it anymore).
- Screaming Woman: Played straight when she's confronted to XANA's latest attack. Parodied in "End of Take", where "AAAAAHH" is her sole line in James Finson's movie.
- Ship Tease: With Odd, particularly in Season 2's "Déjà Vu" and Season 4's "Kadic Bombshell" or "Bad Connection".
- Spoiled Brat: Her father is a huge pushover where she's concerned, which she takes advantage of mercilessly. Season 3's prequel two-parter reveals that she started out as a more Spoiled Sweet pampered girl, but the misunderstanding between her and the gang that led to them becoming enemies changed this.
- Stalker with a Crush: Her crush on Ulrich tends to verge on this, as in some episodes she is willing to resort to things like blackmail and taking advantage on his Laser-Guided Amnesia to get him to date her. The fact she has apparently been trying to seduce him since Nursery School, even though he never returned the affection, doesn't help. This tends to be toned down after her Character Development.
- Then Let Me Be Evil: As revealed in the prequel, she became more of an Alpha Bitch thanks to the gang automatically distrusting her for something that, for all intents and purposes, never actually happened. She drops this mindset by the end of the series and is a full on friend to the group.
- Throw the Dog a Bone: On occasion, and in the final episode, when the gang at last decides to make her an "official" friend. Also counts as Earn Your Happy Ending, as it feels like an ultimate reward for all the multiple times she's helped out but doesn't remember, with shades of Worthy Opponent respect from the gang considering the stunt she'd just pulled prior to the final return to the past which caught them completely off guard.
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: A rival (sort of) case with Yumi.
- Unknown Rival: Yumi is mature enough to realize that Sissi is a Hopeless Suitor, and thus a rivalry between them is barely acknowledged on her part.
- Unlucky Childhood Friend: She knows Ulrich and has a crush on him since Nursery School. Though the "friend" part remains unconfirmed, seeing how Ulrich didn't seem to be on good terms with her in the prequel.
Herb Pichon / Hervé Pichon
Herb Pichon
Voiced by: Bruno Mullenaerts (French), David Gasman (English), Hiroki Shimowada (Japanese), Gerardo García (Latin American Spanish), Javier Balas (European Spanish)
- Always Someone Better: Herb is a good student in general, but Jérémie always has better grades than him.
- Brains and Brawn: He's the brain to Nicolas' brawn.
- Cheaters Never Prosper: In "The Robots". Herb cheats on the robot competition against Jérémie in order to win, however, proof that he cheated is found on the video record Milly and Tamiya have made, and it's implied that even if a return to the past hasn't been done, he would've been outed as a cheater anyway. Played straight in the same episode after the return to the past, as Jérémie knew what to do in order counter Herb's attempt at destroying Kiwi II.
- The Dragon: The closest thing Sissi has to one. Nicolas is Dumb Muscle, and thus for actual schemes, she kinda has to default to Herb.
- Hopeless Suitor: To Sissi. Nothing he does ever catches her attention and makes him constantly jealous of Ulrich. Théo got under his skin too when he tried entering Sissi's gang during "Claustrophobia", clearly holding the torch for Sissi as well.
- Jerkass: He's usually not as mean as Sissi can be, since he's more passive, but he's still very petty and not very nice, sometimes not even to his friend Nicholas. Sissi is the only one he's consistently nice to, mostly due to his crush on her (and because he and Nicholas are kind of afraid of her).
- Nerdy Bully: He's a stereotypically nerdy kid who's just rude and unpleasant even when Sissi isn't around.
- Nerdy Nasalness: Speaks with a nasal sounding voice, and is quite nerdy.
- Odd Friendship: With Nicolas, as they seem to have very little in common.
- Teen Genius: Despite being frequently overshadowed by Jérémie's and Aelita's IQ's, he is also a very bright student on his own.
- Those Two Guys: With Nicolas.
- Unknown Rival: Compare with Sissi to Yumi; he's this to both Jérémie and Ulrich. He'd like to knock Jérémie down a peg or two based on their academic performances, but the latter sees he's mainly harmless. Ulrich thinks even less since he's never been that into Sissi in the first place.
Nicolas Poliakoff

Voiced by: Carole Baillien (French), Matthew Géczy (English), Masaru Uekura (Japanese), César Garduza (Latin American Spanish)
- Annoying Laugh: Nicolas seems to be known by his, with Odd stating in "The Chips Are Down" that he would recognize his laugh anywhere.
- Book Dumb: In one episode he gets a zero on a test and Ms. Hertz has to tell him that a kilogram of mercury does not weigh a ton.
- Brains and Brawn: The brawn to Herb's brains, though he isn't seen strongarming too much.
- Dumb Muscle: Is none too bright but is adequate in sports.
- Hidden Depths: He's an excellent drummer and is also fond of fishing.
- Hopeless Suitor: To Aelita.
- Literal-Minded: One example of this happens in the final episode where Sissi needs an excuse to be absent from class and tells Nicolas to tell Jim the first excuse that pops into his head. Hilarity Ensues when he tells Jim that Sissi ran into some aliens and went crazy.
- Odd Friendship: With Herb, as they seem to have very little in common, yet are Those Two Guys regardless.
- Simpleton Voice: His voice is pretty dopey-sounding compared to the other characters.
- Those Two Guys: With Herb.
Milly Solovieff
Milly Solovieff
Voiced by: Mirabelle Kirkland (English), Gabi Beltrán (Latin American Spanish, first episode), Adriana Casas (Latin American Spanish, rest of the series)
- Characterization Marches On: In the first episode, Milly was insecure to the point of coming across as psychotic, getting emotional at the drop of a hat, and talking to her teddy bear when she's alone. For most of the series afterward, she's a perfectly normal girl.
- Deadpan Snarker: Has her moments. For example, during "Zero Gravity Zone", Tamiya zooming in on Ulrich's ass while he's playing soccer and making comments on the view gets this reaction from her:Milly: Well thanks, Tamiya, for that excellent commentary on the game!
- Girlish Pigtails: Her hairstyle features these.
- Intrepid Reporter: She and Tamiya attempt to be this, always looking for their "scoop"; however, no-one really seems to take their journalism very seriously.
- Hopeless Suitor: For Ulrich, in season 1.
- Likes Older Men: She had a crush on Ulrich, who is older than her, also in "A Lack of Goodwill" she pretends to have written a love letter to the William clone to trick him into admitting being a clone.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: She's always referred to by her nickname, Milly.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The emotional and quick to bite back red to Tamiya's more down-to-earth and rational blue.
- Those Two Girls: With Tamiya.
Tamiya Diop
Tamiya Diop
Voiced by: Barbara Weber-Scaff (English), Miho Hino (Japanese), Nallely Solís (Latin American Spanish, most of the series), Diana Pérez (Latin American Spanish, some episodes)
- Black Dude Dies First: In "Attack of the Zombies", she's the first character to be zombified by Kiwi.
- Camera Fiend: A given, since she is the camerawoman for Kadic News.
- Female Gaze: Played for Laughs. Tamiya zooms in on Ulrich's butt while filming his soccer game. Milly is not too pleased about the quality of her coverage.
- Intrepid Reporter: She and Milly attempt to be this, always looking for their "scoop"; however, no-one really seems to take their journalism very seriously.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The usually rational and down-to-earth blue to Milly's quick-to-bite-your-head-off and emotional red.
- Token Black Friend: Is Milly's best friend and is black; unlike most examples, she is more level-headed.
- Token Minority: She is black, with an African-sounding name.
- Those Two Girls: With Milly.
Johnny Cleary
Johnny Cleary
Voiced by: Jodi Forrest (English)
- Blush Sticker: A permanent variant. His cheeks and his nose are always reddish.
- Hopeless Suitor: To Yumi, starting in season 3.
- Precocious Crush: Has one on Yumi.
- Those Two Guys: With Hiroki, once they start attending Kadic.
William's Clone
Clone William. Awwwwwww!
William's Clone"To be specific, I'm a digitally-generated random polymorphic energy field controlled by a basic non-evolving behavioral program."
Voiced by: Mathieu Moreau (French), David Gasman (English), Alexei Mayén (Latin American Spanish), Pablo Sevilla (European Spanish)
A Polymorphic Clone created by Jérémie to replace William throughout season 4 while the latter is controlled by XANA, so that nobody at Kadic gets suspicious from his prolonged absence. The clone is close enough from the original to fool most people, although his programming isn't quite perfect, making him a Literal-Minded Ditz — and a big source of humor. Milly and Tamiya discovers something is amiss in episode "A Lack of Goodwill", and William's parents quickly find out he's an impostor (in episode "Down to Earth"), just before William's return.
- Artificial Human: A copy made of Hard Light. It's able to simulate humanity well enough.
- Cannot Tell a Lie: He was never programmed to lie. He'd respond truthfully to any question asked by anybody, including about his true nature — although being quite stupid and literal-minded, it's probable he'd misinterpret the question. And while he's aware another William exists, he still responds to William's name, which can cause further confusion.
- The Ditz: His artificial intelligence isn't quite advanced enough to make him act normal.
- Doppelgänger: A rather... imperfect clone of William.
- Hard Light: "Random polymorphic energy" to be precise, whatever the hell that means.
- Literal-Minded: The most common expression of his ditziness:Delmas: Well, Dunbar, my boy, I am glad to see your fever has broken and you're feeling well!
Clone William: Eh... did I break anything else? - Other Me Annoys Me: If the possessed William looks annoyed at the sight of his clone, it's nothing compared to what the real one discovers it did to his reputation when he's finally free.
- Replacement Goldfish: He tends to exemplify the "Goldfish" part more than the "Replacement" part.
- Techno Babble: The above quote.
- Undying Loyalty: To the Lyoko Warriors, so long as XANA can't control him. He even goes so far as to try to fight the real William in one episode (not with much success, unfortunately).
- Walking Spoiler: His very existence spoils William being Brainwashed and Crazy by XANA.
- What Measure Is a Non-Human?: The Lyoko Warriors, with the exception of Aelita, are pretty dismissive of him; they don't really care if he gets punished and call him not a real human... even though Episode 81 shows he's starting to gain humanity. Aelita calls them on this, since they treated her like a human when they thought she wasn't.

Jim Moralès
"Actually, I'd be glad to talk about it, but I don't have the time!"
Voiced by: Frédéric Meaux (French), David Gasman (English), Luis Alfonso Padilla (Latin American Spanish, Seasons 1-2), Jorge Ornelas (Latin American Spanish, Seasons 3-4), Cholo Moratalla (European Spanish), Shinya Fukumatsu (Japanese)
The Gym teacher and dormitory supervisor at Kadic Academy. A bit overweight and prone to speeches full of redundancies and malapropisms, he's most often the comic relief. But when things get dangerous he can prove extremely courageous and fiercely protective of the children. Jim is sometimes the butt of the students' practical jokes, and as a result can be overly severe toward them. He's very suspicious of Team Lyoko, and ends up discovering the Factory several times, to have his memory erased by the Returns to the Past. Starting with Season 2, whenever appropriate to the situation, his shtick is to mention one of the many jobs or hobbies he's supposed to have done in the past, from sewer worker to astronaut... Though some of these might be true, most are probably wild exaggerations, as suggested in the episode named for his Catchphrase.
- 11th-Hour Ranger: Jim ends up briefly joining the Lyoko-warriors in the Season 1 finale and proves to be a vital help.
- Acrofatic: Is a bit on the pudgy side, but if the situation calls for it, he can really move.
- Ambiguous Situation: His endless stories about the amazing jobs and things he has done through his life. While there is some implication that at least some of them must be false, absolutely nothing is confirmed or refuted in the show proper. It's even strange that, while Jim himself has proven to be a Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass, whether that one quirk belongs to the moron or the badass remains thoroughly unanswered.
- Badass Teacher: He doesn't appear to be one at first glance, but he can be.
- Butt-Monkey: Even more so than Odd and Sissi, being subject to physical comedy at his expense as much as verbal comedy.
- Catchphrase: "I'd rather not talk about it," when referring to the various jobs he had, though it was not present in the first season.
- Characterization Marches On: The absence of his catchphrase aside, he was slightly rougher around the edges in Season One and was not quite as weird compared to later on.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Even if he tries to present himself as a strict teacher, he has a ton of weird quirks and takes them to heart, and isn't even aware of how people actually laugh at his back for them.
- The Comically Serious: While he's not completely devoid of a sense of humor, he takes himself very seriously. Too much, in fact, for the kind of eccentric he is.
- Cool and Unusual Punishment: When he thinks Odd went back on his word and leaked his old dance movie to the other students, he punishes him with compulsory disco lessons!
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Most of the time, he is portrayed as goofy, clumsy, and a bit stupid, to the point that even the students don't take him seriously. When given the chance, however, he can actually be competent.
- Department of Redundancy Department: He has a tendency of repeating or paraphrasing himself when he lets his speech meanders.Jim: May I remind you that in the evening, girls and boys are prohibited from straying from their respective floors. Okay, for any of you who might be thinking of trying to pull anything, remember that the floors are different from each other in that either is upstairs from, or downstairs from, the one above. Girls are upstairs, and boys downstairs. Coming and going through upstairs to downstairs and from downstairs to upstairs are strictly forbidden. If I ever catch anyone going from downstairs upstairs or anyone going from upstairs to downstairs, he or she is really going to regret it stairs. [sic]
- Drill Sergeant Nasty: Apparently, he used to be one, and still has the mannerisms.
- Expansion Pack Past: Every time he talks about his past, he's got something new to add into the mix. No word on how much of it is true.
- Gratuitous Disco Sequence: His secret video clip of Paco, King of Disco.
- Hopeless Suitor: For the school nurse Yolanda, in "X.A.N.A.'s Kiss", as he went to give her a flower after a polymorphic clone with her appearance kissed him on the cheek, only to be told by the real Yolanda that she's already engaged with someone else.
- I Minored in Tropology: Or rather, "I was a former Navy SEAL/CIA operative/FBI agent/paranormal researcher, etc."
- Inconsistent Spelling: His surname is officially written as "Moralès", but some dubs spell it by the more regular form "Morales" (the difference being, respectively, "Mo-ra-LES" and "Mo-RA-les").
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Brash, hot-blooded, almost always angry, but he does care about the well-being of his students.
- Let's Get Dangerous!: On those rare occasions when he gets fully serious, he's a force to be reckoned with.
- Likes Older Women: In several episodes he's shown to have a crush on Mrs. Hertz, who is clearly older than him.
- Meaningful Name: He's a gym teacher named Jim.
- The Münchausen: Maybe. His various accounts of his previous life range from the reasonably believable to the patently ridiculous, not to mention the sum of all of them would probably require more than one lifetime to fit, but there's no actual proof that he's lying in any case.
- My God, What Have I Done?: There's the one time he accidentally caused Jérémie to fall down a flight of stairs and break his ankle when Jim got on his case yet again. He may be something of a jerk, but actually causing the students to get harmed is the exact opposite of anything he'd ever want to do, and he's genuinely broken up over the incident far more than his getting fired over it.
- Noodle Incident: Over the span of his career... too many to count.
- Old Shame: In-universe, the Disco Paco dance movie he starred in. Until it starts to become a big hit with the students, at least. As for his other past careers, he'd rather not talk about them.
- Older Than They Look: While Jim lacks gray hair and other signs of age like many of his other teacher compatriots, he was around to make a disco film in the seventies and has an adult nephew, and as he was an adult in the film he's likely at least in his fifties.
- Papa Wolf: The students may not actually be his children but they're his students and by golly, he's going to protect them!
- Phony Veteran: Some of the jobs he claims to have occupied are related to the Army, the Navy or some kind of secret service, including paranormal investigation. While we are never shown any proof that Jim lies in his life tales, the possibility of a man actually having done all those things (along with the rest of his stories) is admittedly very small.
- Plucky Comic Relief: It goes to show what kind of show this is that the old gym teacher plays this role.
- Pointless Band-Aid: Under his left eye. He probably thinks it makes him look tough.
- Properly Paranoid: He is firmly convinced the Lyoko Warriors are doing something behind everyone's back, an impression Delmas only sees as paranoia.
- Real Men Wear Pink: Season 4 reveals his cellphone is pink and decorated with several hearts. Even Odd thought it was too girly.
- Sixth Ranger: Temporarily, at the end of Season 1. But then he gets his memory erased when the gang go back in time.
- Took a Level in Kindness: In Season 1, Jim would often angrily give the Lyoko warriors punishments for various reasons. It came to head during the last two episodes of that season, where he spent a considerable amount of time trying to find out what they're up to, which made him antagonistic to them in general, to the point of inadvertently causing Jérémie to fall down a flight of stairs. This subsequently gets a horrified Jim fired, but Jérémie decides to reveal the truth to Jim, as he was injured and needed Moralès to help. From this point forward, Jim seems to become a lot more lighthearted and comical as a character, even after the Reset Button in the Season 1 finale. It's notable that Season 2 is what picks up on the "I'd rather not talk about it..." Running Gag.

- Adaptational Badass: In the novel continuity, she's confirmed to have military history, once being known as Major Steinback, and was Franz Hopper's primary confidant and ally during his time on the run from the Men in Black, and is the most notable of the adults on the Lyoko Warrior's side during their conflict with the Green Phoenix. The show proper never confirms if any of this history is true; the only confirmed root is that after Franz's escape to Lyoko, she took his place as Kadic's science teacher, with more esoteric guessing being based in her seeming to have a wider intellectual range at times than one might expect from a regular science teacher.
- Chekhov's Classroom: In many episodes, XANA's attack will be related to something Ms. Hertz teaches in that episode's class. While this trope is averted in most cases, as the content of her lectures generally doesn't help at all at stopping the attacks, it will sometimes give ideas to the group. For example, in "Marabounta", Ms. Hertz's lecture about ants gives Jéremie the idea of creating the computer program the episode is named after.
- Deadpan Snarker: Has her moments, specially when she's loosing her patience with Odd or Ulrich, like in this exchange from "A Great Day":Ms. Hertz: Yes, and my job is also to ask questions, isn't it Odd? So, would you be kind enough to tell me the mass in moles of two oxygen atoms?
Odd: Hmm... hmm...
Ms. Hertz: 32 grams per mole. And the principle of photosynthesis?
Odd: Uh, you mean?...
Ms. Hertz: The synthesis of oxygen for plants possessing chlorophyll placed in light. Alright, here's an easy one now, which student in this graduating class is the biggest failure in science, who nevertheless takes the liberty of not listening to my lessons?
Odd: Uhm, me, Ms. Hertz?
Ms. Hertz: Bravo! Well done Odd, you see what you can do when you apply yourself? - Meaningful Name: It's quite fitting that the Lyoko Warriors science teacher has Hertz as her surname.
- Muscles Are Meaningless: In "Nobody in Particular" she is able to punch Jim to the ground, even though by her build no-one would say she would be able to do such a feat.
- Smart People Wear Glasses: Worked as Franz Hopper's assistant in the novels, and replaced him in Kadic as a science teacher after his disappearance.
- Stern Teacher: A strict teacher that has no problems calling out her students if she believes they aren't paying attention to her class, or working hard enough on their studies.
Jean-Pierre Delmas
Jean-Pierre Delmas
Voiced by: Alan Wenger (English), Bruno Mullenaerts (French), Alejandro Mayén (Latin American Spanish)
The headmaster of the Kadic Academy and Sissi's father.
- Adaptational Badass: He's in on the conspiracy concerning Franz Hopper's disappearance in the novels. Unlike with Miss Hertz, who displays personality traits and knowledge in the show that tracks well with Hopper's own intellect at times which makes the detail potentially plausible for the animated series' backstory, this is more easily confirmed as an invention of that continuity; no indication is ever given in the show that he was aware of Hopper's activities, indeed, "Wrong Exposure" confirms that Delmas was clueless about Aelita's past.
- Depending on the Writer: He's either a strict and responsible principal, or a gullible buffoon that rivals Jim.
- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": His last name ("Delmas") was not revealed until the second season and his first name (Jean-Pierre) was a mystery until the third.
- Those Two Guys: He and Jim sometimes have this dynamic, being Kadic's primary adult authority figures; they can often be seen together discussing the events going on or working together.
Others:
Kiwi
Odd's dog, which he brought secretly in Kadic and now hides inside his room with the help of Ulrich, since pets are forbidden at school. Kiwi tends to not do much besides eating, sleeping and in some occasion wreaking havoc in the room. Odd, however, is devoted to him.
- Dogs Are Dumb: If Jérémie's opinion is anything to go by.
- Loophole Abuse: Used in one episode, where Jim finds out about Kiwi. When pointed out that pets are forbidden inside school, Odd notices that they are in the bus at this point, meaning they are technically outside school.
- Mysterious Animal Senses: Can feel the presence of spectres and Ulrich's consciousness in "Nobody in Particular".
- Open Secret: Pretty much every student at the school knows that Odd is keeping him in his room in defiance of the rules; Sissi even threatens to tell on him in one episode, but apparently changes her mind later.
- Put on a Bus : Does not appear at all in Evolution, with Odd revealing he's staying with his sisters.
- Ridiculously Cute Critter: Bordering on
Ugly Cute at times. - Robot Me: Kiwi has a robot duplicate built by Jérémie. He doesn't like it.
- Team Pet: To the Lyoko Warriors.
